It popped up in my my news feed yesterday. I have no back story. The image has apparently been floating around the internet for a couple of years. I made it my phone wallpaper.

Searching past all the appearances on pinterest, it looks like this is from here, taken by photographer Tilly Meijer in 2011. It doesnât say what is happening but she has another picture showing a dive, so I imagine this is the aftermath.

Catching up with some Marvel movies â just watched the Ultron one and Thor: Ragnarok.
Ragnarok was way better 
Itâs paced like somebody telling a story and not like watching somebody speedrun a video game.

I just finished the Fyre documentary. Good piece.
Man, so many people got screwed.
ETA: This is the Netflix one.

Watched Hotel Artimis while flying home.
Okay, itâs obvious someone watched John Wick and said to some producer, âthat hotel for criminals is a great ideaâŚletâs make a movie about it.â
And then failed to find a coherent plot.
Itâs one of those flicks that you keep finding problems with hours after you watched it.
I mean Jeff Goldblum will show up in anything, but Jodie Foster?

I guess it should not be much of a surprise that this is terrible 
You could fast forward through it with the sound off and not miss anything.

Saw the one titled âFyreâ. Not sure which one. Iâm pretty sure this one lumped FuckJerry in with âscrewed-over contractorsâ, but I understand another one lumped FuckJerry in with McFarland and Ja Rule as a âscrewerâ, rather than a âscreweeâ.
ETA: The Netflix one.

Watching Deadly Class, very close to the original comic. Iâm enjoying it so far but I must be getting old because I have to use closed captioning for the mumbling and the lighting is in constant darkness. Great alternative 80s soundtrack.

Oceanâs 8. What can I say, I like heist movies, and this was a pretty good example of the genre.
I donât think Iâve seen either Oceans 12 or Oceans 13.
Reminded me of âTo Catch a Thiefâ, for some reason.

Finally got the Roku Express+ set up, with
WiFi via Calyx. Got irregular buffering issues going on ( 
), but right now Iâve got some Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe version) playing, and Iâm enjoying it.

So I watched Mandy, andâŚHO-LYâŚFUCK.
What do I compare this to? A Clockwork Orange? Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Blue Velvet? I donât know.
What I do know is that itâs something special, and Nicholas Cage was destined to star in it.
ETA: I have to add that Linus Roache is iconic. A very memorable performance.

Stopped half-way through Netflixâs Polar, boy itâs rough. I picture two frat boys jumping up and down on a couch drinking beers. âNo, wait! and then he KILLS the dog! write that down!â A huge waste of the talents of Mads Mikkelsen.

Netflix seems to be following my YouTube watching⌠and totally misinterpreting it.
I watched a takedown of the Kevin Sorbo evangelical movie Let There Be Light (I think I got the link from here), and Netflix recommended the actual movie. I read a negative review of Gotti, and Netflix recommended it.
Meanwhile, stuff Iâd love to watch gets low recommendation ratings, or none at all.
Iâve subscribed to them for years, and itâs like they donât know me.
